Chapter 10: Departure
The red fireplace, the crackling firewood, and the thick military cotton clothes all brought Sophia's mother and daughter a long-lost warmth, chewing beef jerky and polymer drinks, and she felt how undeserved her previous hesitation was.
I would have come to this man's place early enough to enjoy these things that I was used to, yes, not anymore.
Sighing softly, Sophia took two more bites of beef jerky, looked up at her daughter who was still chewing hard, gently touched her head, turned around and said to Li Han, "When will you leave?" ”
Standing at the window silently looking outside, in order to maintain the body temperature of the two of them, Li Han had to raise a fire, he tried to test that the dead branches in the yard were not completely soaked, and they could still be used.
It's just that I don't know if the lights on have attracted jackals in the distance, the wind and snow outside are getting stronger and stronger, and the temperature seems to be still decreasing, Li Han doesn't know, will this world be completely frozen in the end?
After observing the sound for a while and seeing no movement, Li Han turned around and said softly, "When you have rested well and your physical condition is almost recovered, we will act!" ”
Since he could only observe his own physical condition, while others were completely invisible, Li Han was not sure that there was anything abnormal in the body of Sophia's mother and daughter, similar to mild typhoid fever and other diseases.
If you have these symptoms, and continue to travel in such a big snowstorm, there is a chance that there will be no return!
Therefore, even if he was resting for a day, Li Han did not dare to take this risk categorically, as for taking two corpses to the shelter, hehe, this is not to survive, this is to die!
What's more, they had been hungry for a long time!
handed Sophia a bottle of heated polymer drink, Li Han gently pulled the door, and instructed outside, "Take a stool against the door, I'm in the house next to me, I'm on duty at night, something calls me!" ”
Li Han arranged some devices in the courtyard that could make noises, and then returned to the room safely, listening to the slight snoring from the house next to him, he also wrapped his military cotton clothes tightly and fell asleep.
Maybe it was because the snow was too big, maybe it was because the ground was too slippery, the night was safe, there were no probes, no intruders, Li Han and Sophia both had a good night's sleep.
Although it is still dark outside, the biological clock that humans have cultivated over the years is not so easy to change.
Before nine o'clock in the morning, Li Han woke up, the snow outside seemed to be falling heavier, the whirring wind was like the wail of a banshee, and the little girl in the next room was hiding in Sophia's arms and sobbing lowly.
Can't wait any longer!
The ground had been completely frozen yesterday, and they could only rely on the soles of their feet to slowly move towards the shelter.
Looking at the map of the city, Li Han had to go through several blocks, across the entire high-tech zone and half of the old city, to get there.
On the map, Li Han focused on two places, the Huating Community and the City Bar, that is, the place where the so-called Cult of the Immortal God and the Holy See of Tomorrow are entrenched.
Both of these places are the gateway to the sanctuary!
It's okay to talk about the urban bar, but this Huating community is a huge residential area, and you can go directly to the shelter not far from it, and if you take a long detour......
In this weather, listening to the crackling sound of snow particles hitting the window, Li Han couldn't be sure if Sophia's mother and daughter, and even himself, would be able to hold on if it took a few more hours to go around in a circle!
But Li Han knows that it is useless to think too much, it is useless to think more now, no matter where the road goes, if you can't hold on by then, then you can only fight!
Just do it!
Beckoning Sophia's mother and son to get up to eat, and after supplementing their nutrition, they wrapped their thick winter coats around themselves, and then put on a military cotton coat, and Li Han's whole person was like a big dumpling, one circle after another.
Sophia's mother and son are of course no exception, the mother is wrapped in a cotton coat, and the daughter is wrapped in layers of clothes and winter clothes, and the head is covered with a thick cotton hat.
After getting ready, Li Han took the lead in walking out of the dilapidated small bungalow!
Indoor and outdoor are simply two worlds, a gust of cold wind mixed with cold snow directly smashed towards Li Han and the three of them, Sophia's mother and son shivered unconsciously.
Looking at them who took a step back and wanted to retract back, Li Han gritted his teeth, grabbed Sophia, shook his head, and pointed to the heavy snow in the air.
If you don't go, the snow will get heavier and heavier!
When the time comes, you won't be able to leave if you want to!
Sophia looked at the gloomy sky aggrievedly, looked at her daughter in fear, sighed helplessly, dragged her daughter and gritted her teeth and walked out.
Li Han sighed lightly, he was afraid that Sophia would have an awkward relationship with her, which would undoubtedly increase the difficulty of arriving smoothly.
Crunch crunch!
The snow had reached the thickness of the ankles, and it was only the eleventh day, and if it took another ten days, the thickness of the snow would cover him completely, and he believed it!
Through the night vision device, Li Han could clearly see that many people in the bungalows on both sides were looking at them from the glass windows, although they couldn't see the specific figures of Li Han and the three of them, but they still stared at the footsteps like this, and they didn't want to move a step.
There are old and young, their eyes are numb and dull!
Desperate and painful!
Li Han didn't know what they were looking at, was it the hope of rescue or the desperation brought by the mob?
Can these people be saved?
Suddenly, a strange idea came to Li Han's mind, but he was immediately thrown away, he now has to risk crossing the thug base camp to even get a place in a shelter, let alone save this group of people!
Li Han smiled self-deprecatingly, after a few days of comfort, his heart softened, and he felt that he was floating when he had some supplies!
I don't know that I will have to face countless pains and partings next, and I think that compared to the people here, it seems that I am the one who needs to be saved more!
Shaking their heads, facing the wind and snow, Li Han and Sophia's mother and daughter slowly walked out of this dilapidated neighborhood!
It would take at least a few hours to walk from here to the shelter, and what seemed like a short distance before now seemed as far as the horizon.
After walking for less than two hours, the little girl was already staggering from the cold, and her steps began to be a little uncoordinated, and Sophia's state could not be said to be good, after all, she had only rested for one night, and it was impossible for her to be alive in such a heavy snow.
Li Han scratched his head, this is less than a fifth of the way, how to make the next road?
Li Han, who was helpless, only found an abandoned small hotel nearby, brought Sophia's mother and son in, and then burned some firewood with solid alcohol, and the trembling two were a little better.
Li Han stood at the door, looking at the two of them whose faces turned pale from the cold.
More than four-fifths of the way to go!
